Jambo!! from ilula kenya
Jambo!! We saw people from the village this morning. It is amazing the feeling that comes over you when for the first time someone is able to see leaves on trees or their families from further away. Each day is a treasure hunt for the one person or child who can have their life change by one small action. Ester is 17 and had told her parents that she could not see. They heard we were here, news travels fast in the village, she came and we were able to fit her immediately with the correct prescription. She was very happy and the next day her Mum came to tell me that Ester was very happy and could see. Her Mum said that Ester was the brightest of all her 11 children and would be sitting for exams to see if she could enter higher education. She wants to go into medicine and maybe become an eye doctor!! The children here have great love.
We are loaded up for our trip to Kipkaren. There we will see at least 70 patients plus anyone who wants to be seen. This is the home of the equipment and glasses. Julius, our person we have been training is catching on very quickly. We loaded all the equipment in Adele's landover tonight and will leave at 6:15am.
It has been and will continue to be an adventure.
Truly, Life is a "get to" not a "got to". For those who know me I don't sleep much anyway but every night it is hard to go to sleep--I might miss something!!
A single action can move the world!!
Kwaheri (Good-bye for now)

What a true blessing for all of you to serve the families and children. It will be great to see all of you --but the pictures help.
I can only imagine how it feels to truly help those who have no resources for the things we so easily take for granted.
See you soon

Wow you guys are keeping busy. Looks like a lot of fun and very inspiring. It will be interesting to see how many patients you will see while you are over there. Glad to hear that you interact well with the animals!!! Now remember....keep the animals there. I don't think the dogs would like any giraffes, monkeys, or lions. Can't wait to see more pictures and read some more.
